Having A Blast!

Rocco and his cousin Matt enjoyed the new Antarctica section of Sea World. Coordinating shirts not planned. Rocco's whale shirt was planned (of course).

Rocco was AMAZED by the penguins in this new section. He was going nuts, squealing excitedly and jumping. Maybe his room should have been penguin themed instead of beluga whale themed.

Can you feel the love?

In Casey's defense, Rocco was chasing him around the room and this was his warning to stop. Casey has never actually hurt Rocco, just given him non-clawed swats, which generally result in Rocco squealing with laughter. Not exactly Casey's intended reaction I am sure.

Quack!

Upon seeing this mama and her baby duckies by our backyard pond, Rocco immediately went charging after them, yelling "Duck! Quack!". The ducks were not impressed with his verbal skills. They quickly took off to the safety of the water, where Rocco still tried to follow them, forcing me to drop the camera and grab him LOL!

He then sat down and waved, yelling "Bye! Duck! Bye!" Too cute.

 

Hold On Tight

In the early evening, while the sun is still up, Rocco and I like to go exploring in our backyard. He always reaches up to grab my hand as he tramples over the grass. It's quiet little moments like these that will always hold a special place in my heart.

Not So Serious

Goldfish, the snack of choice for "Seriously Handsome" toddlers.

Curls

Here's a photo of Rocco's curly locks. Rather messy ones at that, since it was near the end of the day. Someone is definitely going to need to get his first haircut in time for his second birthday (if not sooner if Scott gets his way).
